Association of CD24 with the kinase c-fgr in a small cell lung cancer cell line and with the kinase lyn in an erythroleukemia cell line.

Human CD24 is a highly glycosylated glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked ( GPI-linked) cell surface protein. GPI- linked proteins are involved in signal transduction mediated by members of the protein tyrosine kinase ( PTK) family. Therefore we studied associated molecules providing the signaling capacity of CD24. Lysates of SW2 and K562 cells were analysed for expression of PTK of the c-src family by Western blotting. We identified c-fgr in SW2 lysates and c-fgr and also lyn in K562 lysates. To study a putative association of these PTK with CD24 we performed immunoprecipitations with the mAb SWA11 directed against CD24. Western analysis of the precipitates showed an association of c-fgr with CD24 in SW2 cells and lyn in K562 cells. We conclude that either c-fgr or lyn is physically associated with CD24 in a cell-type depending manner. An involvement of these complexes in signaling phenomenons of CD24 in small cell lung cancer and in leukaemias is discussed.[1]
